Young
students are becoming increasingly disconnected from
their communities as families experience increasing
mobility. This distancing from friends and relatives is
for most young persons, a removal of stability. In
turn can lead to a
lack of motivation to become productive citizens, and
in turn this potentially leads to involvement into
anti-social or self-destructive activities. The
vitality of our communities and families is linked to
the quality of the education, nurturing, and
responsible role a community. The reality is a
void that is recognised by many educators between no
parental or community support and a place of
education.
Every TAPs require the valuable assistance of 6th form mentors.
Acting as natural subject 'translators' between subject
provider and the student, every mentor enables the
pace of any activity to be forward and progressive.
The ieet pays considerable attention to ensuring that
each mentor is adequately trained in advance of any
program.
Mentors provide:
- A structured, relationship
or partnership that focuses on the needs of the
mentored participant.
- Encourages
individuals to develop to their fullest potential.
- Help
to an individual
to develop his or her own vision for the future.
- Part of the ieet
strategy to develop active community partnerships.
